<div class="post">
<p>The <code>byte[]</code> and <code>String</code> classes in Groovy's GDK have methods to Base64 encode and decode Strings.</p>
<pre class="brush:groovy">
def s = 'Argh, Groovy you say, mate?'

String encoded = s.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
assert 'QXJnaCwgR3Jvb3Z5IHlvdSBzYXksIG1hdGU/' == encoded

byte[] decoded = encoded.decodeBase64()
assert s == new String(decoded)
